Yara Arts Group will celebrate the publication of In a Different Light, the anthology of Ukrainian poetry that Virlana Tkacz and Wanda Phipps translated to create the texts for Yara's theatre pieces. The book features the works of 37 authors, both in the original and in English translations. Also included are Lesia Ukrainka's play Forest Song and epics, ritual songs, and incantations. Yara theatre pieces that generated the translations are described in a seperate section that includes 32 color photographs from Yara's productions. The book, edited by Olha Luchuk, with an introduction by Natalia Pylypiuk, was published by Sribne Slovo Press in Lviv.
The book launch event will include a presentation of projected photographs from the productions by Virlana Tkacz, while Wanda Phipps and Yara actors read.
